Introduction: With regard to subtype, in subjects infected with HIV-1 subtype B, the thymidine analogue mutations pathway 1 or TAM-1 (including mutations
M41L,
L210W and
T215Y) is probably more frequent t
Discussion: Our analysis offers strong evidence that, in contrast to the mutation patterns published for other subtypes, individuals infected with CRF01_AE and experiencing virologic failure while receiving NVP-based HAART favor TAM-2 resistance pathways (
K70R,
D67N,
T215F,
K219Q/E) rather than TAM-1 (
M41L,
L210W,
T215Y), whereas those receiving regimens containing EFV appear to select both TAM-2 and TAM-1 pathways (Figures 1B, 2A and 3B).
